Field and Wave Electromagnetics

David K. Cheng’s Field and Wave Electromagnetics (1992 hardcover, 703 pp.) is the reference young engineers keep within arm’s reach long after the course ends. Written in clear, self-contained English and heavily illustrated, the book walks readers from electrostatics and magnetostatics through Maxwell’s equations, wave propagation, guided waves, radiation and antennas—always tying theory to real circuit and field problems. Cheng’s hallmark is a progression that builds intuition first and mathematical rigor second, making the transition from introductory physics to senior-level electromagnetic design unusually smooth.
Collectors and students prize this specific 1992 printing for its durable sewn binding and high-contrast figures that later paperback reprints compressed or lost. At just over 700 pages it is comprehensive enough to double as a professional desk reference, yet logically sectioned so that chapters on transmission lines, waveguides, and cavity resonators can be studied stand-alone. The hardcover lies flat on a bench while you work, and the wide margins leave room for your own marginalia—though this copy arrives clean and unmarked, with only a faint cosmetic mark to the closed page edges.
Because electromagnetics underlies everything from 5G antennas to medical imaging, a well-preserved copy of Cheng’s classic is in constant demand. This gently used volume is tight, square, and free of highlighting or dog-ears, ready for the next owner to break in with color tabs and sticky notes. Whether you are a young adult tackling your first fields course, a professional brushing up for the PE exam, or a technology enthusiast building a personal science library, this single book delivers the conceptual clarity and worked examples that turn Maxwell’s four equations into practical, marketable engineering insight.
